Method

Preheat oven to 450F. Line a pan with parchment paper 

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water 

Bring the water to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes 

Drain the water and add to potatoes to the pan 

Using a glass, smash the potatoes until they are flat. You want to do this carefully so they remain all together.

Drizzle with olive oil and add salt, garlic, and pepper 

Add to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until they’re crispy. 

Remove from the oven 

Add the cheese to the potatoes and bake another 2-3 minutes.

Remove and add your toppings. I added sour cream, bacon, and green onion

Serve and enjoy!
